I think talk of forcing UW to take WSU along or Oregon taking OSU along is all that, until the B1G dangles a gazillion dollars in front of the school, and the realization is that changing conferences can be a boon to both schools.  Like the noise made by the UC regents after UCLA moved over, it's all talk.  I expect if UW or UO are offered, they will bolt in a nanosecond, and pay off whoever from their respective in state partner in order to get there.  And, despite the noise from OSU and WSU alums, they will be largely powerless to stop the flow of money.
